Eyeshadow is one type of makeup or a decorative cosmetic preparations that contain color pigments applied to the eyelid. Eyeshadow may contains lead in high concentrations. The used in the long term it can cause eye irritation. The research aims to determine the best oxidizing agent and wet digestion method and determine lead contained in the eyeshadow using AAS.

Steps in this research include the sample eyeshadow with different colors are mixed and then digested with open and close wet digestion method using variation of oxidizing agent HNO3 30 mL; HNO3: HClO4 (2: 1); HNO3: HClO4 (3: 1); HNO3: HClO4 (4: 1); HNO3: HClO4 (5: 1). Result from the best oxidising agent and and wet digestion method tested on each sample eyeshadow. Determination of lead levels measured using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS).

Two Way Anova analysis show that the best oxidizing agent and wet destruction method for the analysis of lead content in the eyeshadow is HNO3:HClO4 (2:1) with close wet digestion method. Lead levels in each sample eyeshadow is 25.56 mg/kg (black nonBPOM); 34.23 mg/kg (black BPOM); 45.3 mg/kg (green nonBPOM); and 45.9 mg/kg (green color BPOM). Based on these results it can be seen that all samples eyeshadow contain lead levels that have exceeded the maximum limit acording to Regulation Agency of Food and Drug Supervisory.
